You’ll want to stay at least one night in Salina; reserve a room at one of the city’s numerous lodgings or camp at Salina KOA Holiday.
Here are 12 great things to do when you’re in town.
1. Explore SculptureTour Salina
Many of the city’s amenities are clustered in Salina Downtown. For an excellent orientation, explore SculptureTour Salina. Each year, sculptors install between 15 and 25 sculptures in Downtown Salina. Silver boxes on the sculpture pedestals hold ballots. You can also pick up ballots at downtown businesses. At the end of the exhibition season, the city of Salina buys the winning sculpture. Anyone interested may also purchase sculptures. We always look forward to seeing the new sculptures.
